Voluntary organisations and NGOs have pledged support for the e-waste collection drive in Wayanad, Keralam, as it aims to become the country’s first completely e-waste-free district by November 1.

The organisations gave the assurance at an online meeting convened by Agriculture Minister T. Siddique on Monday to review preparations for the initiative. The Minister said the active involvement of voluntary organisations and NGOs would help achieve the target.

Mr. Siddique also reviewed the progress made by local self-government institutions and called for the responsible participation of local bodies, commercial establishments, individuals, households and other institutions to make the campaign a success.
